I replace the electronic card , and configure it with the step protocol , but also showing reading above 100%,and the live Cps reading soo small like 11 cps, replace more than one card and crystal sensor , but same issue , any recordation can be share?

The Uni-Probe LB 490 may show readings above 100% and low live CPS readings due to radiation interference. The high gamma sensitivity of the scintillation detector can cause false readings if there is interfering radiation such as from welding seam tests or nearby radioactive sources. This interference can lead to incorrect count rates, including unexpectedly high percentages and low live CPS values.

Page 23: Use And Function
2 Use and Function Use and Function The Uni-Probe LB 490 has been designed as a level gauging system and may be used only for this purpose. If it is used in any manner not described in this User’s Manual, the protection of the device is impaired and all warranty claims are voided.
Page 24 Explosion hazard! Spare parts for detectors used in hazardous areas may only be installed by BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES service staff or by persons authorized by BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES. If this is not possible, you have to replace the complete detector or return it to the man- ufacturer for repair.
Page 25: Qualification Of Personnel
IMPORTANT At least specialized persons are required for all work on and with the Uni-Probe LB 490, under the guidance of a qualified or autho- rized person. Specialized Persons Specialized persons are e.g. technicians or welders who can carry out various tasks in transportation, assembly and installation of the Uni-Probe LB 490 under the supervision of an authorized person.
Page 26: Qualified Persons
Authorized persons are persons, who are foreseen for certain activ- ities as a consequence of statutory provisions, or who have been approved by BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES for carrying out certain activities. The Radiation Safety Officer has to be involved whenever radioactive substances are being handled.
Page 27: Transport And Assembly
Uni-Probe cannot be used any more in ex-protected areas. If the Uni-Probe housing receives a mechan- ical blow, e.g. because it is dropped, then you have to return the Uni-Probe to BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co. KG for inspection. Uni-Probe LB 490 1 –...

Page 31: Radiation Protection
The total sum of the radiation dose absorbed by a body is deter- mined by three factors. On the basis of these factors, certain fun- damental radiation protection rules can be derived: Uni-Probe LB 490 1 – 31 BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co. KG...
Page 32 6 Radiation Protection Volume 1 This means the distance between the radioactive source and the Distance human body. The radiation intensity (dose rate) decreases - like light - in proportion to the square of the distance; this means, dou- bling the distance to the source will reduce the dose rate to one quarter.

Page 119: System Description
Measuring System 1.1.1 Basic Measuring Configuration Uni-Probe LB 490 is a level gauging system consisting of scintilla- tion detector and evaluation unit in one housing. The Uni-Probe LB 490 utilizes the radiometric measuring method, i.e. the absorption of Gamma radiation passing through the product being measured.
Page 120 Volume 5: SIMATIC PDM User Interface HART 1.1.3 Measuring Geometries The hardware and software of the Uni-Probe LB 490 system makes it easy to adapt the system to different measuring geometries and measuring tasks.

Standard installation with one detector (one Uni-Probe) The fieldbus signal is either intrinsically safe or not intrinsically safe. Power is always supplied not intrinsically safe. In addition to the fieldbus signal output, an additional 4-20mA sig- nal is available, for example to operate an on-site indication.

1 Process Operation Volume 7 System Overview The following illustrations show how to integrate the Uni-Probe into a fieldbus system. Standard installation with one detector (one Uni-Probe) The fieldbus signal is either intrinsically safe or not intrinsically safe. Power is always supplied not intrinsically safe. In addition to the fieldbus signal output, a 4–20mA signal is also available, for example, to operate an on-site indication.
Page 661 Each detector is connected separately via a terminal box and supplied with power. In addition to the fieldbus signal output, a 4–20mA signal is also available, for example, to operate an on-site indication. Uni-Probe LB 490 7 – 661 BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES GmbH & Co. KG...
